chenGOD Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 So I've got this keyboard right. I recently changed the batteries in it, and now the fucker won't give me any output. Not even through headphones. I thought it might have been my audio interface (Firewire400) but I bypassed that altogether and it still won't give me anything. I've read the manual, fucking useless. Anyone got any ideas on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Was it working before you changed the batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 yes. it would prompt me with a warning about replacing the batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 That really doesn't make any sense then, unless there is some software setting for volume or sound routing that got wiped when you pulled the batteries, but the K2500 has the AA's in a compartment on the bottom right? If you just left it plugged in while swapping then it shouldn't have even wiped the memory..... You've tried headphones, multiple cables, multiple input jacks whereever they're plugging into..?

chenGOD Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 yep. it's really fucking confusing me. all the memory settings are the same. i've tried running through the FW 400, not running through there, headphones, multiple outs, multiple ins...

chenGOD Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 i'm probably gonna have to take it in...i don't have the original floppies anymore...actually don't know if I ever had them, as a friend gave me the unit. Wonder if they're on any of the zip discs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hahathhat Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 the answer is that kurzweils suck and break a lot, and if you must have one, rent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelican Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 yes, but there's no digital synths in their league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 the answer is that kurzweils suck and break a lot, and if you must have one, rent it. Thanks for the totally helpful response. It was given to me by a friend a couple of years ago. I mainly use it as a piano and not as a synth. Sometimes as a MIDI controller for playing in melody lines. And TFTT: the Fairlight and Synclavier were both ridiculously expensive. Anyways...got too drunk to take it into the shop this weekend. maybe next.

Guest iep Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 once you get the hang of it, it shows itself to have one of the best commerically available synthesis engines... fantastic machine.. anyway just take it to the repair center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 And TFTT: the Fairlight and Synclavier were both ridiculously expensive. Yes, but above the k2500's league nonetheless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iep Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 And TFTT: the Fairlight and Synclavier were both ridiculously expensive. Yes, but above the k2500's league nonetheless! if you're talking about the synth league, as opposed to the electric piano league, the k2500 is ofcourse much much more powerful than a synclavier or fairlight. if you're talking cult status, infamousness (and somewhat interesting new interface) league, the k2500 doesn't stand much chance..

ten fingers ten toes Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 the Synclavier and Fairlight both had very good additive synthesis engines, which the k2500 lacks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 you're gonna put additive synthesis up against the V.A.S.T. system that the Kurzweil synths use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I *love* additive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
